Still three gaps in the NW corner. I have a word that goes in normally for 13 ac, meaning protective structure, but I have idea where the 7 weeks fits in.

Hi Dylan'

4 letter word for "box" (abbr. of a 10 letter word) around 4 letter word for "seven weeks"

Thanks, Brendan for 33a. I even think that def. of 'narrow-minded' has come up elsewhere recently.

I think you're right Mattrom and it was me who posted the question:-)

Thanks, Mattrom. I had not looked in Chambers, but when I do it is staring you in the face.

I suspect a lot of people will go for the type of tree and then convince themselves that EL can be 'on west facing'

ummm...I meant thanks for 34a. :)

Thanks also from me Tatters. It looks as though the paper paper won't be reaching North Cornwall today.

...and done.

Agree with the previous suggestion that it’s a familiar Schadenfreude construction.

Long period staring at the deep SE and SW before discovering the source material which rapidly gave 35A and 28D/36A. Who knew so many letters would fit into a little cell - but hey! Replacements!

Thanks JH; RIP

Finally stumbled across the finishing line. Having the wrong version of the source really caused me some serious problems with 3 and 8 which consequently meant my LOI's were 27 and 30 down. I was convinced I had the right answers (which I had), but couldn't make any sense of the connection - once again, thanks to wikipedia, I got there. Some reasonably solvable clues bespattered with some extremely devious ones - I found this extremely enjoyable.

May I butt in on 33 across? I have a six letter (unusual) word for "tree" and it doesn't end with L. I have a reversed two letter definition of "on" for the final two. Look at the verbs for "tree" in the BRB.
